Core Yogas

Kuta peak Yoga: All planets in all 7 houses commencing from the 4th house. One born in Kuta Yoga is a liar, crafty, cruel, a mediator, wicked, and poor. One will head a jail, and lives in and frequents hills and fortresses. Living in woods and hills, one is a wrestler, loves the tribal people, is devoid of the knowledge of what is worth doing and what is not, practices deceit or gives false witness, and manufactures and sells imitation goods. Kuta means any summit, such as a mountain peak, but it also means a concealed weapon, a deer trap, fraud, illusion, tricks, and falsehood. It is these latter meanings that seem appropriate to the results of this yoga. Natives with this yoga have their actions very much influenced by their imaginations and emotions. Their actions are further conditioned by their needs, not by any sense of code or conduct. Their actions are not necessarily selfish, only need centered, meaning the goal is to fulfill a need, and not to do any right or wrong, but in doing so they may do ill in the process. Chatra parasol Yoga: All planets in all 7 houses commencing from the 7th house. One born in Chatra Yoga helps his own men and keeps his relations happy. Kind and very intelligent, of matchless riches and strength, one is dear to kings, long-lived and happy at the beginning and end of life. One is learned, generous, does state work, and gets insignia of royalty. Chatra means a parasol or umbrella; it is particularly a parasol as a mark of royalty. These natives are particularly helpful to society, they recognize or sense that other's well-being is as important as their own. They are secure and centered individuals, very capable of succeeding and finding happiness through their own merits. They usually obtain a title, special honor or some recognition for their good deeds.
